OTTAWA) July 17, 2015 - Statement from Julian Morelli, Green Party Director of Communications:
“We are very pleased to see that La Presse has joined forces with the National Broadcasters.
“This is a great addition for French-speaking citizens throughout Canada. It gives them the chance to hear from all the major party leaders in a format that reaches all demographics, no matter where they live, or how they choose to watch it – It is unprecedented!
“However, we still await an answer from David Walmsey, Editor-in-Chief of the Globe and Mail andRudyard Griffiths from the Munk Debates, as to why the traditional rules for inclusion in debates have been ignored – what is their rationale beyond the basic speaking points they have released?
“As a result, we feel it is important to re-release our correspondence with the Globe and Mail and Munk to let the public arrive at their own conclusion.”
